Safe? Safe? The country is not safe from McConnell, that is what the country is not safe from.

WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (click here) certainly doesn’t sound combative when the name of Ashley Judd comes up.
“She’s great. Love her movies,” the Kentucky Republican said in an interview, smiling broadly.
That is all he’ll say about the actress and activist whom some Kentucky Democrats are hoping will run for Senate against him in 2014. Judd has not ruled out the idea.
But McConnell also has a warning for any Democrat wanting to take him on: He will try to tie “Barack Obama around their neck,” the senator said Thursday in an interview with The Courier-Journal at his U.S. Capitol office....
The needs of the country will be overshadowed by the Senate Minority Leader's agenda for his campaign. Currently, the only issue McConnell is running on are threats to oppress the Democrats if they try to challenge his Senate seat. That isn't really a pressing issue for the country, is it?
The only thing that will move McConnell from his obstructionist agenda is a candidate to oppose them sincerely willing to do the work of the country and not simply rest on his/her laurels watching the clock tick to the next Senate Filibuster. Mr. McConnell needs something to run on. I think the Democrats need to give it to him.
